With the new Architecture Skyline Collection from LEGO, builders can create skylines of three world cities: New York City, Berlin, and Venice.

According to ArchDaily, each city kit will have the blocks for five buildings. New Yorkā€™s, for instance, will have the Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, One World Trade Center, Chrysler Building, and Statue of Liberty. The buildings are roughly to-scale, too.

The kits come with all the necessary bricks andĀ instruction manuals, which include historical factoids about the buildings and cities. The sets will be available January 1 and will sell for between $30 and $60.
